That is the ultimate power, to stare death in the face and be unafraid.
Orson Scott Card
There is no such thing as morality or immorality in thought. There is immoral emotion.
Oscar Wilde
The moment Colin sat down, Hollis asked Hassan, Would you like to say grace? Sure thing. Hassan cleared his throat. Bismallah. Then he picked up his fork. That's it? Hollis wondered. That's it. We are a terse people. Terse, and also hungry.
John Green
He that lies down with dogs, shall rise up with fleas.
Benjamin Franklin
Murder is always a mistake. One should never do anything that one cannot talk about after dinner.
Wisdom is the knowledge of good and evil, not the strength to choose between the two.
John Cheever

If one hears bad music, it is one's duty to drown it by one's conversation.
Many are needed to plant and water what has been planted now that the faith has spread so far and there are so many people... No matter who plants or waters, God gives no harvest unless what is planted is the faith of Peter and unless he agrees to his teachings.
Thomas Becket
It is a sad truth, but we have lost the faculty of giving lovely names to things. Names are everything. I never quarrel with actions. My one quarrel is with words. The man who could call a spade a spade should be compelled to use one. It is the only thing he is fit for.
It is jazz music that called me to be a musician and I have always sang the songs that moved me the most. Singers, like Frank Sinatra and myself, we interpret the songs that we like. Not unlike a Shakespearean actor that goes back to the greatest words ever written, we go back to the greatest songs.
Harry Connick, Jr.
We live in an age when unnecessary things are our only necessities.
The billiard table is better than the doctor.
Mark Twain
Newspapers have degenerated. They may now be absolutely relied upon.
There was a certain point in my life where I had to decide that I was going to take my future and Nicole's and not wallow in what happened to me because when you do that, you just keep repeating what's been happening and at some point you have to make a choice.
Boris Kodjoe
Disobedience, in the eyes of any one who has read history, is man's original virtue. It is through disobedience that progress has been made, through disobedience and through rebellion.
Pleasure is Nature's test, her sign of approval.
The sign of a Philistine age is the cry of immorality against art.
but there was nothing I could do to dim the supernovae exploding inside my brain, an endless chain of intra cranial firecrackers
No work of art ever puts forward views. Views belong to people who are not artists.
For his mourners will be outcast men, and outcasts always mourn.
Into the silence rips a sound that makes me let go of Max's hand and cover my ears. It is like the strafe of a bullet, nails on a chalkboard, promises being broken. It's a note I have never heard - this chord of pure pain - and it takes a moment to realize it is coming from me.
Jodi Picoult
No emperor has the power to dictate to the heart.
Friedrich Schiller
She said that she would dance with me if I brought her red roses, cried the young Student; but in all my garden there is no red rose.
Happiness is hard to recall. Its just a glow.
Frank McCourt
The size of the Federal budget is not an appropriate barometer of social conscience or charitable concern.
Ronald Reagan
I have a very strong feeling that the opposite of love is not hate - it's apathy. It's not giving a damn.
Leo Buscaglia
I repeat... that all power is a trust that we are accountable for its exercise that from the people and for the people all springs, and all must exist.
Benjamin Disraeli
A pessimist is one who, when he has the choice of two evils, chooses both.
Men are only as great as they are kind.
Elbert Hubbard
Psychology keeps trying to vindicate human nature. History keeps undermining the effort.
Mason Cooley
Every path but your own is the path of fate. Keep on your own track, then.
Henry David Thoreau
I am beautiful, famous and gorgeous.
Anna Kournikova
Neither of us knows what the public will think. There's no doubt in my mind that I have found out how to begin (at forty) to say something in my own voice; and that interests me so that I feel I can go ahead without praise.
Virginia Woolf
The permanent temptation of life is to confuse dreams with reality. The permanent defeat of life comes when dreams are surrendered to reality.
James A. Michener
I look forward to an America which will reward achievement in the arts as we reward achievement in business or statecraft. I look forward to an America which will steadily raise the standards of artistic accomplishment and which will steadily enlarge cultural opportunities for all of our citizens. And I look forward to an America which commands respect throughout the world not only for its strength but for its civilization as well.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy
There is always a philosophy for lack of courage.
Albert Camus
Politics isn't about left versus right it's about top versus bottom.
Jim Hightower
There is a connection, hard to explain logically but easy to feel, between achievement in public life and progress in the arts. The age of Pericles was also the age of Phidias. The age of Lorenzo de Medici was also the age of Leonardo da Vinci. The age of Elizabeth was also the age of Shakespeare. And the New Frontier for which I campaign in public life, can also be a New Frontier for American art.
